Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. ducks and swine.

Explanation:

Influenza virus is capable of the genetic reassortment. This reassortment involves the reassortment of genetic parts in between two influenza strain. This takes place due to the ability of influenza virus to alter or modify the structure of Hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase.

Some other characters also helps them to develop different strains for different host such as mutation, antigenic drift and many other conditions. Influenza virus subtype A are belongs to the avian host so they affect the birds such as duck, swan, gesse. Other than avian variants there is another strain that affect pigs known as swan variants. These strains are virulent if reassorted with human strains.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.

g100num [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c).

The frequency of C represents p while that of c represent q. Using the formula p+q= 1

The proportion of pink flower is 153/1000 = 0.153. This is also the frequency of the genotype cc (q^2).

Thud to find q which is the frequency of the c allele,

q = √0.153

q = 0.3912

From the formula p +q = 1 we can find p p = 1 - 0.3912

p which is the frequency of the C allele

p = 0.6088.

B. the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes is 847 / 1000 = 0.847
